Default Dendrobium aggregatum

M-

Never mind the normal cycle that this plant usually wants. What it needs
right now is a new p-bulb with a leaf on it, and I really think that the
spag method will work. I've taken bits of things that I valued and been
shocked at how well they do when given the chance.

Patience is key!

Thank you again Diana.

None of the pseudobulbs are soft, they are all in decent shape but I guess
I should cut the yellow ones off.

I will try the sphagnbag method though I do wonder if in this particular
case it is the appropriate time.

Thank you again!

Ah, Mariana, it's you! Little lindleyi is a hurting puppy, huh? The back
bulbs (yellow/shrivelled) probably ought to come off the plant. They look
soft to me. Are they? If so, they are not well at all.

If it were my plant, given that there are no leaves, I'd take the
healthiest portion of it and do a spag and bag until it puts out a new
growth. I'd bet money that it would do so. More on the technique at this
